Ok I had just finished writing this and it all deleted so it's going to be more concise. I made a lot of progress this week. I realized I needed to add more brushstrokes if I wanted to achieve the impressionist style I was going for and also add in additional colors that are not just blue for the sky or green for the trees. However, I started experimenting with this for the sky, and therefore it does not look very cohesive. I was experimenting with different ways of applying the paint like a palette knife or certain brushes and therefore it looks like it was done three different ways. I think I'll revisit this later but I was just focused on getting more paint on the canvas. Then, I looked towards the trees. I found it difficult to determine where the trees are placed as most of my sketch was covered by the underpainting or the first layer of the sky. I also really struggled with where to start because I was drawn to the cyprus trees and put down their shape, but then realized that there is a line of other trees right behind them so I had to redo that area multiple times to get the cypruses to look like they are in front of the other trees. I also went back in with the sky color to fix where I had painted the trees in the wrong place. I think I really started to get a handle on the brushstrokes when doing the cypruses because I started to bring in other colors and relax my brushstroke to suggest values in the trees rather than doing details. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #454545} I’m pretty happy with the treelike. Next I need to work on fixing the sky and then the grass area.
